Britain historically left the consortia due to Rolls-Royce focusing its efforts on Lockheeds Tristar engine (the rb211) insted of the airbus engine (the rb207).


So what I'd the Lockheed Tristar dosnt exist? (Maby Lockheed focused more on its supersonic airliner) then Rolls-Royce (and by extension the British government) would have no chose but to focus its efforts on the A-300.


The first issue would be that the Rolls-Royce engine was for a much bigger plane then what the a-300 ended up being, would a 300 seet a-300 (insted of 250) cause the plane to flop and if so would that destory airbus before it really started to roll?
